Frank Christian (singer-songwriter)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frank Christian (born 1948) is a Greenwich Village-based singer-songwriter and guitarist. His best known song, "Three Flights Up" was recorded by Nanci Griffith for her Grammy award-winning 1992 release Other Voices, Other Rooms.

Christian has also had much success as a sideman. He has appeared on dozens of albums, backing such performers as Dave Van Ronk, Suzanne Vega, John Gorka, Nanci Griffith, and The Smithereens.

In many ways, Christian is a traditionalist, with a deep understanding of all kinds of american music, especially jazz. He began his guitar studies with the jazz guitarist Roosevelt Span.
